The MSC Yacht Club is a private, all-inclusive retreat inside a mega-ship, giving you a quieter, more service-focused experience while the rest of the ship remains just outside the door.
MSC Cruises pairs large, modern ships with a distinctly European style and an international onboard atmosphere. The fleet offers plenty of dining, entertainment and family activity, while MSC Yacht Club creates a more private way to experience it. Yacht Club is not a separate ship: it is a key-card-access suite area on select MSC ships, so you can enjoy the amenities throughout the vessel and return to dedicated dining, a private lounge and sun deck, and more personal service. We book MSC at all cabin levels, but for travelers looking for more privacy, attentive service and a quieter place to retreat, our recommendation usually starts with the Yacht Club.

MSC's World-class ship combines a broad mix of dining, entertainment and outdoor spaces with a dedicated Yacht Club retreat. It is a strong choice if you want the newest style of big-ship experience with somewhere private to escape the activity.
A large, lively ship designed around Caribbean cruising, with extensive outdoor space and entertainment. Yacht Club is especially appealing here if you want access to the energy of a mega-ship without having to live in it all day.

MSC's stunning private island paradise with white-sand beaches, calm waters, and a breathtaking sunset experience.
Classic Caribbean port with easy walking to historic sites, shopping, and beautiful beaches.

MSC Yacht Club is a private, key-card-access retreat available on many MSC ships. Yacht Club guests receive an elevated suite experience with dedicated dining, an exclusive lounge, private outdoor space, 24-hour butler and concierge service, priority benefits, and additional inclusions that vary by sailing and ship. The appeal is the contrast: step outside Yacht Club and you have the restaurants, entertainment and activity of a large MSC ship. Step back inside and the experience becomes quieter, more private and more personal. For travelers who like what a large ship offers but do not necessarily want the standard mega-ship experience all day, Yacht Club is where we usually start the conversation.
